Could you please remove your leg, sir?
CEF B1
Airline security staff may not be looking for kittens or monkeys. But there is an illegal trade in endangered reptiles. So how do you transport three iguanas across the world?
No Spare Leg
A Californian Jereme James
stole the bright green lizards from a nature reserve in
Fiji. James then smuggled the iguanas back to the
United States. He hid them in a special compartment in
his prosthetic leg. 
This not surprising. Airline staff do not usually say,
‘Could you please take your leg off, sir?’
And most iguana smugglers don’t have a
spare leg.
Mr James now faces up to five years in
prison.
